Userscripts in Chrome

Hello,

If you use Chrome 2.x, find out your user data directory (mine is C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default ).
Create a "User Scripts" directory inside your user data directory (in my case, that is C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\User Scripts).
Copy any script.user.js file into your "User Scripts" directory.
Right-click the shortcut icon of Google Chrome, either on your desktop or in your "Start" menu, and click "Properties".
Select the second tab named "Shortcut", and in the "Target" field, append --enable-user-scripts with a space inbetween; the command flag --enable-user-scripts has to be outside the double quotes, if any.

First off, make sure you are following Luc VN's post on how and where to create your User Scripts folder. When downloading those user scripts, save them exactly how they want to be saved. For exmaple the first one you posted wants to save as 42620.user.js. It will not work without the .user. in there. Since I know you use extensions as well, this is going to be your chrome target line for using extensions AND user scripts:

Keep in mind some user scripts may not work as they were not developed specifically for chrome. I have tested all the ones you posted and the only one that worked for me (under 2.0.180.0) was http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/42620. You right click the "Install" button, choose save as and save it into your User Scripts folder.

yeah, I was doing everything right as follows... It seems I pinpointed it to somehow things stopped working properly after I installed a gmail notifier (do to no google toolbar anymore"man i miss that the most") but a clean install seemed to have gotten rid of the problem..

Thanks for the suggestion and the also the testing on them also. That is the only one I can get to work...
